maybe yet another case of special service from apple representative.. :sweat:
Apple volunteered to write up an educational App for free. And at opps at the moment, only IPADs run it.
If there are kickbacks involved ... opps .. Applegate
maybe yet another case of special service from apple representative.. :sweat:
its quite normal ppl in govt sector are always wasting resources, thinking that they are using govt funds..

With regards t this particular top secondary schoo, I have no good comments for its principal ... and if it was his initiative, then i dont think many teachers are behind it. It may be one of those plans that he just decided to shove down to the teachers to implement.
in the apple ios ecosystem it is more than just the hardware that makes it an attractive solution

Hmmm, must find out who's the salesgirl or salesman that deals with their respective opposite sex principals.
Anyway people just lov to be monopolized by apple and still say shiok. Kind of having daily wet dream and a prolonged climax.
I believe Nanyang Girls' also implemented iPad for certain level. Not sure if it's compulsory though, got to check.
Cannot deny Apple makes good products.
i know of nanyang's project. but isn't it surprising at how big the hurrah and hoo-haa differs between NY vs RV?
iPad implementation at Nanyang Girls' School in Singapore ~ ICT For Educators
my guesses for the difference is this:
1: RV doesn't seem to have an open documentation which the public can access to, unlike nanyang which has both the news and youtube to help people understand better.
2: the scale is different, and the funds for the programs come from different sources.
3: one was a test bed study, while the other was a full scale implementation
oh, i am anti-android, not standard UI at all. different maker different interface. no time and not interested to learn how to use them. i was using palm(black and white) since like more than 10 yrs back. then move to windows mobile. then Linux on Motorola.
every devices come out have to learn how to use them, how to sync them...zzz... syncing is very important. they have to come out with a "standard". i dont want to loss all my data. i got my andriod like 1.5 yrs back..wtf!!! so hard to sync and problematic....then thanks to rashkae, recommended me touchdown.........back to the topic
so, who will pay for the ipad? school or students?
My nephews bought the MAC PROs for their school projects since last year.......so its going to be not uncommon for schools to adopt using such IT tools for education purposes. In my opinion, the same rationale goes for IPAD2. Whether who pays for the costs of the IPAD2 will be secondary if RV makes this a mandatory school item for each student. Parents die die must buy for the child.....no way out.......
